We have some T1 clients that we need to back up via ISDN dialup. The T1s terminate on one box and the ISDN on another. Our T1 and ISDN routers speak OSPF to one another, but nothing to the client CPE. The problem I see is that when a T1 is down, the idle routes on the T1 router take precedence over the active ISDN route. On the dialup router: Destination Gateway IF Flg Pref Met 192.168.101.224/28 192.168.101.225 wan609 rGT 60 1 192.168.101.224/28 192.168.58.3 ie1-1-1 OG 10 2 192.168.101.225/32 192.168.101.225 wan609 rPT 60 1 192.168.101.225/32 192.168.58.3 ie1-1-1 OG 10 2 On the T1 router: Destination Gateway IF Flg Pref Met 192.168.101.224/28 192.168.120.81 wanidle0 SG 120 15 192.168.101.225/32 192.168.120.81 wanidle0 SG 120 15 As you can see, although the routes are unpleasant on the T1 router, the alternate IDSN routes don't appear. And, on the ISDN router, The T1 routes are more desirable. This forces me to manually down the T1 profile to make it's routes less desirable. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to fix this? I haven't run OSPF in years, so it might be set up, um, as if by someone who hadn't run OSPF in years.
